** The Guardian begins hunting down Praksis, the Technocrat within Bray Exoscience.
Variks: Eramis met Praksis in prison, yes? [wheezes] Each day, they spoke through the walls of their cells, dreaming of a new world. His research gave Eliksni the ability to draw power from the Splinters. [insect-like chattering] Be careful, friend. Kill Praksis, and Eramis will no longer be able to empower her followers with Darkness. [insect-like chattering]
** Zedraks-6, House Salvation appears. The Guardian defeats Zedraks-6.
Praksis: Interlopers. Meddlers. Extraneous variables. But perhaps I can make use of you… Your kind make compelling test subjects.

Praksis: This is where your Golden Age Kell built you, hmm? Trivial tinkering. I will elevate it…

Variks: Is it stranger to see this place, Guardian? [wheezes] Eliksni are haunted by what we have lost — but we are not forced to walk the ruins of our former life, as you are. [insect-like chattering]

Ghost: Variks, Praksis is down. We’re finishing up here.
Variks: Good. Without Phylaks and Praksis, Eramis will grow reckless. [insect-like chattering] Careless. Without her council, she is weak. She will struggle to control this new Dark power. [insect-like chattering]
Ghost: Perfect time for us to strike. Guardian, we should get back to camp with this Splinter. The Stranger will be waiting.
++ Riis-Reborn Approach, Rathmore Chaos, Europa
** Eramis meets with Kridis and Atraks.
Eramis: Praksis and Phylaks are dead. We must retaliate! Atraks. Kridis and I can handle this. Return to the Crypt and prepare the body.
** Atraks leaves Eramis and Kridis.
Kridis: Eramis. We must take pause. These powers are not what we expected. I, too, am impatient. But there is wisdom in caution.
Eramis: [grunts] Caution? Look what caution has earned us. Our enemy exploits our weakness. I will give these Guardians the destruction they crave.
